Had my first night on the track Friday. Aside from a few teething problems, a few loose screws and popped the steering turnbuckle off then stripped it and I also stripped the top ball stud from the right hand c-hub causing some weird handling issues). The car ran really well. Ran in the local SSF (10.5T geared 32,75 48p). It was fast but was washing off too much speed in the turns. I think I need to replace the spool front with a geared diff to fix this. The car is at least a full second quicker than my old Sprint 2 after limited track time and I can see this one being alot faster.

On a side note has anyone else noticed that the price of the S-1 has dropped on RC Mart? It is down to $85
